Why would it say to the Gentiles? Gentiles are not saints, or brethren of Christ and would not be counted among the faithful. The Gentiles among the faithful at Colosse would have been called saints and brethren in Christ. Paul is speaking to mostly Gentile converts to Christianity, calling...

You continue to bring forth these arguments that are of no consequence for those who are being saved. You appear to be stoking derision rather than unity of faith and doctrine??? It makes no sense to argue we no longer belong to nations, tribes, kindreds and tongues when we become Christians...

This is ALL true....IF you are speaking of those who die in UNBELIEF! They are the DEAD who know nothing after breathing their last, they are silent in the grave and in darkness until an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds and they are resurrected to damnation! John 5:28-29 (KJV)...

Christians come from all the nations of the world. We don't lose our ethnicity when we become Christians, even as we identify as being Christians and one body, one Church, one holy people in Him, we still retain our ethnic heritage. You seem to be confusing the way Christians are to see one...

Yes, and this Christ Jesus our Lord came through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and that is written in the New Testament. The man came of human lineage, the Divine came of God. Matthew 1:1 (KJV) The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Luke 3:34-38...

You do understand that it is through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that the Seed (Christ) was born? And it is by having faith like that of Abraham's that man believes in Christ for eternal life???

And your point is??? There are many Gentile believers, here are two examples of this truth. Will you deny that Gentiles that believe in Christ are indeed Gentile believers? That simply makes a distinction between Jews, who before Christ believed that salvation was for them alone, and non-jews...

I hear no one denying that Jesus was fully human! What Christians deny is that He was not also fully God incarnate, or God in human flesh!

Are you another Jehovah's Witness that comes to a Christian community to deny the deity of Christ? God humbled Himself by taking on the form of a human, becoming like us, but never did He depart from being God. There is only one means for whereby man may be saved! That is through God alone...

Who do you think Paul is writing his epistle to those Romans are? The Church was primarily Gentile believers, who are indeed called 'Christians'. The whole context of the letter to the Church at Rome is about Christianity or as you say about "Christian concepts". Explaining that there is in...

Who has said "we are all Jews or Gentiles"? Paul does not, and neither have I heard others here say this. What Paul and some of us are saying is that just because one is ethnically Jewish does not mean they belong to "the Israel of God." Paul shows us that Israel exists as not only an ethnic...

While it's true that much of what is written of Old was for the nation of Israel, it's a mistake to limit what is written there to only them. I'm not sure what you are speaking of when you say, "we cannot mix them". I assume you mean what is written regarding the Old Covenant Laws and prophets...

All Israel cannot be an ethnic people since they are ALL saved only by the fulness of the Gentiles being grafted into the same good olive tree of faith with them. That makes ALL Israel people of faith from every nation of the world. The Covenant that is through the seed of Jacob (Christ) is...

The prophets of Old write of all things that are written being fulfilled through the Messiah who was to come. Therefore, the prophecies are to saints of all nations both before and after the advent of Christ coming to earth a man. It is in trying to lock the prophecies of Old to be directed to...

More than the Lord's contemporaries, they were the chosen generation that shall not pass until all things are fulfilled. 1 Peter 2:9-10 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called...

Those were resurrected from the dead! They are not physically resurrected because none shall be physically resurrected before an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds. Why do you not read the passage in context? If Christ was speaking of the physical resurrection that shall come, why would...

Again, your example of Christmas coming is no different than the leaves on trees beginning to show life in due season year after year. The same applies to the Christmas celebration with all the festive fanfare and commercialism. How does this holiday seasonally repeated prove the Lord's second...

That's not what you're trying to prove. You NEED the parable of the fig tree to be about the second coming of Christ to fit your doctrine. If memory serves me, I believe you are post millennial??? All of the parables pertain to the spiritual Kingdom of God that has come, and no matter how...

You again want to pick and choose what part of the Revelation you view as literal language and what part you view as symbolic/imaginary language, depending on which fits your doctrinal point of view you are trying to read into the text. To be seated on thrones is not different than the meaning...

The Revelation uses symbolic language to demonstrate spiritual truths. We must discern what the symbols are used for if we are to rightly understand. John was given to understand that physical life for believers does not mean our spirit will return to God after our body dies, without life...
